TIGER-CATS CLINCH PLAYOFF BERTH AND HOME PLAYOFF GAME

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats officially clinched both a spot in the 106th Grey Cup Playoffs and a home playoff game Monday after the Montreal Alouettes’ 12-6 loss to the Calgary Stampeders. The Tiger-Cats have now made the playoffs in five of the last six seasons (2013 to 2018), hosting a home playoff game in each of those campaigns.

With four games remaining in the Canadian Football League’s 2018 regular season, the Tiger-Cats (7-7-0, 14 points) trail the Ottawa Redblacks (8-6-0, 16 points) by two points and can finish no worse than second in the CFL’s East Division. The Ticats and Redblacks square off two more times this season in Week 19 (Friday, October 19 at Ottawa – TD Place Stadium) and Week 20 (Saturday, October 27 at Hamilton – Tim Hortons Field – TICKETS).
